Our Lady Of The Rosary Church

What Our Lady Of The Rosary Church does

Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church is a private religious nonprofit Catholic parish located at 1668 State Street in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood, founded in 1925 and currently led by Father Joseph M. Tabigue, the seventh and first non-Italian pastor. The parish operates under the spiritual authority of the Diocese of San Diego and has been administered by the Barnabite Fathers (Clerics Regular of St. Paul) since 1969. It serves the Italian-American Catholic community of San Diego and surrounding areas, offering daily and Sunday Mass (including a Latin Mass), the seven Catholic sacraments, faith formation programs (CCD for children and OCIA for adult converts), and a network of five Marian societies and lay ministries (Knights of Columbus, OLR Guild, Cursillo, St. Joseph Society).

The parish's core technology footprint is modest: a WordPress-based website (olrsd.org), WeShareGiving third-party online donation platform, YouTube live streaming of daily and Sunday Mass, and Facebook/Instagram social channels for community communications. It operates from two adjacent owned properties — the historic church and a two-story brick building acquired for $1.7 million in 2000 that houses classrooms and pastoral offices — and benefits from a parking arrangement with neighboring Washington Elementary School.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary contributions: recurring parishioner tithes (in-person and online via WeShareGiving), $10 Mass intentions, fundraising events such as the annual spaghetti dinner and OLR Festa (which draws over 1,000 attendees), sacramental fees, and affiliated programs operated through the Italian Cultural Center. There are no external investors, no venture or private equity ownership, and no public financial disclosures; funding is purely community-sourced under standard diocesan nonprofit governance.
